The Haakaa fruit feeder is made of 100% food-grade silicone and is more hygienic, durable, and easier to care for than mesh alternatives. These alternatives have the disadvantage of being incredibly difficult to clean, can tear, harbor bacteria, and absorb odors. In contrast, the Haakaa fruit feeder is super easy to assemble and use. Simply place fruits, vegetables, or meat into the silicone pouch and seal it tightly. You can also freeze icy treats directly in our fruit feeder. Just flip the leak-proof lid over, fill the pouch with liquid (e.g., breast milk or pureed food), assemble the feeder, put the lid on, and freeze it. After freezing, you just need to remove the lid, and your child can start their exploration. Your child will enjoy discovering new flavors and textures while also promoting their independence, learning to self-feed, and improving their hand-eye coordination and fine motor skills.
